IBM probably doesn't care if a vendor runs their own code on

But they and other vendors probably do care if someone runs code
they had not intended to run on a zXXP. This would affect software
revenue.
IBM software pricing terms are careful to use the term "eligible
workloads". This deliberate use of the language suggests that their
pricing terms might *not* apply to zIIPs and zAAPs running anything
other than IBM-specified eligible workloads. Time will tell...
